Every year, we welcome more than 1,500 transfer students to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Transfer students are a highly valued group of students in our community, with each student bringing various experiences and perspectives to campus.
As a transfer student, your journey towards your degree has already begun and we look forward to helping you take the next step on your path to achieving your goals at UMass Amherst! We understand the process of transferring may seem like a mountainous task and we are here to make it as easy as possible.
We can't wait to meet you! Our admissions counselors, student tour guides, and academic partners are eager to answer your questions and guide you through the admissions process.
Tuesday-Thursday, 10 a.m. – noon, and 1 – 3 p.m. (ET)
Transfer admissions counselors continue to be available to meet with students in a virtual setting only. We will not be physically available to meet on campus. This option is intended for general questions about transferring to UMass Amherst. If you have questions specific to your academic history, including transfer credits, please make an appointment with your transfer counselor.
Schedule an appointment with your transfer counselor who will help you each step of the way through the admissions process.
